This recipe is for a Russian salad called Ensaladilla Rusa. It contains boiled cubed vegetables including green beans, carrots and potatoes along with hard boiled eggs, tuna fish, and allioli sauce. The vegetables are boiled until soft, cooled, and combined with the eggs, tuna, and sauce in a large bowl. Allioli is used instead of mayonnaise for flavor. The salad is a summer dish that is also kid-friendly.
